evening toilet is black, trim it with chan

not be bought outlined in fine gilt threads,
the fingers that are so swift in all pretti-

following each flower and design with
this glittering addition, and you will be
thankful for the suggestion which can be
applied to old f0unces and make them
fresh and attractive.

REVOLUTION IN SLEEVES.
1t is rumored that we are on the eve Of
a grand revolution in sleeves. Very pos
sibly it is much ado about nothing
Strange tales are af0at concerning
probable leg o: mutton sleeves. Tall,
slim women, who are anxious to give
their figures an appearance Of
breadth, are delighted; short,
plump ones are in despair.
Doubtless the hopes of the former will
not be fulfilled, and the latter may set
their fears at rest. II we have leg o.
mutton sleeves at all (Which beg leave
to doubt, in spite of certain sensational
paragraphs here and there) it VIII be ia
very mitigated form; no whalebone sub
structure, no pillows OF down, no extrav-
agance such as we are familiar with from
old prints. Our dreSsmakers borrow
ideas from the past, but st the same time
they mold them to suit modern ext
gencies. We have standard-though it
does not always look like it-and a Ger
tain amount OF art is mixed up with our
eccentricities. A little while since we
heard good deal about Bishop sleeves,
and what did it all come to? a few bod
ices had sleeves plated from the shOul-
ders, and these pleitS are caught in at
the wrists. They are very exceptional.
l have not seen q half dozen gowns
in so many hundreds made with
sleeves Of this kind. The only one I can
recall consisted of a sort of polonaise Of
faded violet plush, slit up at the sides so
as to show a futed cashmere petticoat
to match and furnished with sleeves of
the latter material, that fell around the
arm in soft, loose plaits, caught together
and sewn into short gauntlet cuff of
plush. One can imagine the fashionable
sleeve of the homes of 1920 transformed
in the same way. As for the pagoda
sleeves, which also were to Lave made an
epoch in dress making, their use is en-
tirelV confined to the robe de chambre
and that costly, Iackadaisical garment of
the super-chic, the tea gown.-[London

FOUR DRESSES.
A useful and stylish house dress is of
cashmere in new blue shade, trimmed
with CanSTy-colOred ribbon and cream
lace. The short, round skirt falls il
large, full pIeats, and the fiat front is
crossed by draped ribbons. These rib
bons are fastened on each side by two
loops Of the same ribbon. The jacket OF
cashmere is cut after tight fitting jacket,
having back and side bodices, with full
ness at the seams below the waist to allow
for plested fans at the three seams of the
back. The front, which has darts, opens
over pleated chemlse OF lace crossed by
two ribbons. The lace is pleated over q
corsage front of lining; the front is closed |
at the center and is fastened to the jacket |
